Automatic identification and tracking in production.
Our Industrial RFID Systems BIS offer you the key technology to implement essential requirements of modern manufacturing. RFID technology allows objects and products to be clearly assigned within the company and traced at any time. This is because industrial identification contributes to the interaction of all systems involved in production and paves the way for self-controlling processes. This makes the autonomous system an important component of the smart factory and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).For clear identification and traceability in real time, a data carrier (RFID transponder) is attached to the object to be identified, which acts as a memory. The data is transferred between the transponder and the read/write head (reader) and passed on to the controller via the evaluation unit. In this way, you always keep an eye on all the data.

Industrial image processing is indispensable for modern, flexible manufacturing because it ensures product quality and supports efficient manufacturing processes. Our cameras can identify and check workpieces for quality and position.This ensures transparency in your production and helps to make your manufacturing processes even more efficient. We provide you with everything you need for image processing: Vision sensors, hand scanners, cameras with integrated software, the matching lenses and lighting, along with the appropriate connectivity and networking technology. We deliver complete solutions — everything from a single source and customized to your needs.

The requirements for industrial networks are extensive and diverse. Increasingly higher data volumes and complex communication require powerful and reliable components that are capable of transporting information across all levels.This is especially true if high protection types, robustness, use at high temperatures or special interfaces and connections for maximum security are needed.The intelligent combination of powerful industrial networks with the IO-Link communications standard enables reliable and flexible information exchange under the most diverse areas of application.

To reliably monitor the status and the point-of-use of machines and systems, Balluff offers SmartLight LED stack lights and SmartLight Indicators. These signal lights conveniently visualize the information you need.The SmartLight LED stack light displays important or critical machine conditions and uses a color scale to show trends for physical variables.
